On Saturday I hopped on Lil to do some Dressage training, and she had so much forward that I considered whether I should feed her less. It was a good kind of forward, but you don't want it to go too far especially when you train in a seven acre paddock.
She felt lovely and strong through the back, and we were actually able to canter within a 20m x 60m arena.
With some apprehension, I fed her her normal fare that afternoon.
On Sunday, she felt like a flat balloon. That forward? It was all gone. Her back still felt strong-ish, although she did trip a couple of times.
So I think I might try feeding her more. On the up side, I think her back is getting stronger, so the type of training I am doing is working.
